Midnight at the start of a day is 0000 and noon is 1200. The U.S. military, hospitals, aviation, transport and emergency services use it because it removes any doubt between morning and evening times."]],["Saying it aloud",["1700 is spoken ‘seventeen hundred’ or with ‘hours’ added: ‘seventeen hundred hours’. Times from 0100 to 0900 begin with ‘zero’, as in ‘zero eight hundred’. The chart above gives the spoken form for every whole hour."]],["Quick rules",["To go from 12-hour to 24-hour time, keep AM hours as they are (except 12 AM, which is 00) and add 12 to PM hours (except 12 PM, which stays 12). To go back, subtract 12 from hours above 12, use AM for hours below 12, and use PM for 12 and above. Use the time-duration calculator when you need the length of the gap between two times."]]],"summary":"5:00 PM in Military Time: 1700 24-hour (military) time for 5:00 PM — 5:00 PM = 1700 hours","show_method":true}
